Chapter 232: Hope you can give me some face; I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow morning

Inside the corridor, the fleeing attendant's body suddenly stiffened.

A tall figure suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor; it was a burly woman with short hair.

"The Celestial Cup Boxing Tournament is indeed impressive, but you are merely an attendant."

The burly woman spoke, one arm directly lifting the attendant by the neck, carrying them like a chick as she walked toward Chen Min, looking down at Chen Min from above:

"Can you make people find you any more repulsive?"

The woman named Chen Qianqian spoke, one hand moving with extreme speed, directly slamming down onto Chen Min's head.

"Get lost!" Chen Min growled, murderous intent appearing in their eyes.

Boom!

Ripples of shockwaves hammered down directly, the immense force causing blood to stream from Chen Min's eyes.

But Chen Min still did not lose consciousness.

Astonishment appeared in Chen Qianqian's eyes, but it was immediately followed by a surge of anger:

"With such a powerful physique and will, just how much of a waste are you?"

Boom!

The immense force struck again.

"I'll slaughter Bing Yi for you, and you'd better thank me properly when the time comes!"

Chen Min's entire body went rigid, a sense of dizziness appearing in their eyes:

"I do not wish to kill him; why are you people so..."

Immediately after, they lost consciousness.

Chen Qianqian carried Chen Min and the attendant into the spectator room.

Everyone was speechless.

"Sister Qianqian, this..."

A bald man named Chen Huang, who had a black tiger tattooed on his head, spoke in surprise.

"Make him calm down; Chen Min has clearly been acting strange these past few days," Chen Qianqian said indifferently.

The descendant frowned and said:

"But if this Bing Yi doesn't show up, it won't be easy for us to make a move on him."

"A bug can't possibly hide in the Celestial Cup Boxing Tournament forever!" Chen Huang sneered:

"He is Green Jade rank, and both Sister Qianqian and I are Green Jade rank. As long as he wants to attempt the challenge, I can crush him with one hand; there's no need for Sister Qianqian."

The membership grades and points within the Celestial Cup Boxing Tournament are interconnected.

This is also the reason why Chen Yan was Platinum rank from the start when he arrived in Xiaoyang City.

Chen Qianqian nodded, murderous intent overflowing from her eyes:

"To kill this person, it isn't necessarily difficult. Find someone to calculate his movement patterns in detail; it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go."

The angrier Chen Min became, the more the Luo Chen people hated that Bing Yi.

It was at this very moment.

The host's voice suddenly rang out.

"Let us welcome our big star, Bing Yi, now arriving for the Green Jade rank 45th-place challenge match!"

The host's voice was extremely rough, and above the universe-like dome, beams of starlight projected down.

Scattered lights enveloped a slender figure walking out from the challenger entrance.

In an instant, cheers erupted throughout the entire Celestial Cup Boxing Tournament.

Bing Yi, who wiped out the Gong family.

There were rumors that Bing Yi was a hero of the current age, the backbone of the Great Xia.

This person was someone of great renown at present.

The Luo Chen people in the spectator room stared wide-eyed.

Bing Yi had actually appeared!

The other party dared to show up even though they knew Luo Chen had already arrived!

"Heh, he's got some nerve."

Chen Huang laughed.

"Having nerve, isn't that a good thing?" Chen Qianqian smiled faintly, narrowing her eyes as she also sized up Bing Yi.

In another spectator room, a curve appeared at the corner of Chen Xiyuan's mouth:

"It's good that he appeared; if he didn't, how would I be able to bestow a favor?"

She was a member of the Chen family's main lineage and knew the personnel movements of the Luo Chen branch clearly.

Luo Chen's Chen Huang was at the peak of the Origin Realm, but his own tempered breathing technique had already reached the level of 'entering the subtle,' and more importantly, that breathing technique was Green Vault grade, first class.

As for Chen Qianqian, she was also on the path of tempering.

The breathing technique she practiced was Morning Star grade, also having reached 'entering the subtle,' and she was ranked second among the Green Jade rank in Luo City.

It wasn't that she didn't think highly of Bing Yi, but the Origin Realm cultivators in Yunmeng City were truly very average.

…………

"The base points for a Green Jade rank challenge match are one thousand, increasing by one hundred points each time. I am very curious to see how many points Bing Yi can obtain today."

The host, wearing a Broken Mountain Tiger mask, rubbed his chin as he spoke, appearing to be deep in thought.

As for Bing Yi, dressed in black, he had already arrived at the center of the arena.

"Let me see, Green Jade rank 43rd place, not here; 42nd place, not here.

Next, let us welcome the 41st place, Wu Tian!"

Whoosh!

Cheers rose high into the air.

A mass of mist flowed out from the spectator area, floated directly through the void, and landed upon the arena.

The host spoke the combat rules at a rapid pace, then took a step forward:

"The battle begins."

Crack, crack, crack!

Sheets of ice crystals rapidly clung to the arena.

Chen Yan took a step, his entire body maneuvering in the high air, and as his right hand clawed out, an ice spear coiled with wisps of cold mist appeared, booming toward that mass of mist.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

When the ice spear made contact with the mass of mist, it instantly dissolved, and a pitch-black giant hand reached out from the mist, grabbing toward Chen Yan.

Chen Yan's expression shifted slightly; as his left hand boomed out, another ice spear thrust forth.

A point of cold light exploded instantly, piercing through the mist.

The next moment, giant hands darted out from the mist, wrapping toward Chen Yan.

Fierce battle.

On the encrypted text display beside the arena, two numbers appeared.

1,861.

1,734.

The host's voice rang out:

"Over a thousand units of combat power—this is the output generated without even using a martial technique.

This is the battle of those ranked in the forties of the Cyan Jade tier; the power unleashed by Bing Yi has risen quite a bit compared to yesterday."

Inside the spectator room.

The people of Luo Chen watched the battle intently, and some had even taken out tablets to calculate Chen Yan's combat trajectory.

"I'm afraid he won't encounter me; my combat value has already reached 109,000 units," Chen Huang frowned.

He had considered that Bing Yi might not participate, and he had also considered that Bing Yi's strength might be quite high.

But he hadn't considered that even if Bing Yi went through the trials, he wouldn't reach his own rank at all.

"His combat power value is still rising; it's already at 3,500 units now."

Chen Qianqian spoke, and Chen Huang nodded with a frown.

Time passed slowly.

Bing Yi's first battle ended.

The second battle began.

Chen Yan fought against the 38th-ranked member of the Cyan Jade tier.

Chen Yan unleashed 【Nether Loss】, and the maximum output generated by the battle reached 8,500.

Inside the spectator room.

A strange light appeared in Chen Xiyuan's eyes:

"He still hasn't exposed his full strength; at the very least, the move he unleashed at the Gong family that day has yet to be used.

Once unleashed, his combat power could increase by more than five times."

Beside her, He Youtong's expression trembled.

More than five times the combat power—that would be a combat power value of over 40,000 units.

This completely surpassed her.

Even for her, the maximum combat power value she had ever unleashed was only around 10,000.

She still needed to advance to the Origin Realm as soon as possible.

He Youtong thought to herself.

The battle continued, and the fourth battle ended.

The cheers of the audience grew louder and louder.

After all, Bing Yi's undefeated streak caused the momentum of the audience to accumulate more and more.

The host came onto the arena and smiled:

"Let me see, the opponent for the next round is the 31st-ranked Wicked Flame; I wonder if Bing Yi can win."

Just as the host was speaking, his tone suddenly shifted:

"Oh, information has come from backstage; two Cyan Jade tier members who do not belong to Xiaoyang City have declared their participation.

They are the 19th-ranked Explosive Tiger of Xiaoyang City and the 2nd-ranked Rain Thousand of Xiaoyang City."

The moment the host's voice fell, the entire venue was in an uproar.

Cyan Jade tier members from Xiaoyang City—weren't those the people of Luo Chen?

After all, the people of Luo Chen had arrived just a moment ago.

With the host saying it like that, it was as good as reading their names directly.

Chen Yan's expression shifted slightly; he glanced at the host but said nothing.

Although the host was only reading out personnel changes, there was absolutely no need to say these words.

By saying them, the other party was already making their stance clear.

Inside the spectator area.

The people of Luo Chen were all furious.

"Damn it!" Chen Huang growled:

"This Celestial Flail Boxing Tournament is clearly hell-bent on protecting Bing Yi!"

Chen Qianqian's expression was also extremely ugly.

Who would have thought the host would not only read out their nicknames but also their places of origin.

Isn't this just telling Chen Yan directly that he could completely finish his challenge before they even take the stage?

"However..." A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Qianqian's mouth, and the murderous intent in the depths of her eyes surged at this moment.

And it was at this very moment.

On the arena, the thirty-first ranked Evil Flame walked up.

This person was covered in black flames, their entire body shrouded by fire, making it impossible to see their appearance clearly.

A low voice sounded:

"Bing Yi, I saw you fight; you should still have held back. I have a scheduled match tomorrow and don't want to be seriously injured, so let our battle be just a friendly spar."

Opposite, Chen Yan nodded:

"Fine."

In the spectator area, the audience felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing the content of the conversation between Chen Yan and Evil Flame.

Who wouldn't want the fight to be more intense?

And it was at this very moment.

That Evil Flame made a move, throwing a punch, and a massive fire fist came hurtling over.

When this fire fist appeared.

The secret text on the side of the arena displayed the combat power value.

Six thousand five hundred and twelve.

Many spectators felt instantly bored after seeing this string of numbers.

You want to spar, fine, but could you not be so perfunctory?

Which battle among those ranked in the thirties doesn't have a combat power value of over eight thousand?

And it was at this very moment.

The instant this fire fist came hurtling over!

Chen Yan thrust his spear out.

On another piece of secret text, his own combat power value was presented.

Forty-eight thousand nine hundred and sixty-one!

Hum!

A point of brilliant aurora flickered across the entire arena, instantly causing the surrounding space to dim in a flash.

【Nether Loss】!

And...

Fifth-grade Spear Intent!

"Bing Yi!"

Evil Flame's hoarse voice instantly became sharp, and his combat power value surged in an instant.

But this sudden spear strike gave him no chance to react at all.

One strike!

It pierced directly into the head of the flaming figure, then instantly ran through it.

Sss, sss, sss!

The flames extinguished.

Evil Flame's corpse fell, dying without ever knowing why Bing Yi would suddenly resort to killing.

Was his acting...

Really that clumsy?

The entire spectator area went quiet.

Even the host was somewhat stunned, looking up in astonishment at the top, where a deacon stood quietly.

Why didn't the deacon intervene?

But that deacon wearing a goat mask spoke quietly:

"We do not interfere in the struggle between Bing Yi and Luo Chen in the Celestial Flail Boxing Tournament."

As his voice fell, the spectators in the spectator area who were still confused finally reacted.

Evil Flame was a person of Luo Chen.

Or rather, this Evil Flame had been recruited by Luo Chen.

But the question is, how did Bing Yi see it?

…………

Inside the spectator room where Chen Xiyuan was, Chen Xiyuan stood up with a swoosh.

"Fifth-grade Spear Intent!"

Her voice was rising, and the way she looked at Bing Yi had changed at this moment.

Although the other party also used a spear, only two grades were revealed when they wiped out the Gong family.

Chen Xiyuan hadn't paid much attention to this.

But now it was different.

Awakened only over four months ago, and now it's already Fifth-grade Spear Intent...

"There is no reason for Bing Yi not to join my sect; I am of the Spear Realm, and I am on the same path as him."

Chen Xiyuan's gaze softened considerably.

Martial artists who cultivate Spear Intent are rare, and it is inevitable that they would feel a mutual appreciation for one another.

"Moreover, his Spear Intent gives me a very special feeling; perhaps after he enters the Spear Realm, he can even provide feedback to me."

Chen Xiyuan murmured, though entering the Spear Realm is ethereal and incomparably difficult.

But the aptitude that Bing Yi has displayed should have no issues.

To the side, He Youtong was astonished.

This was the first time Chen Xiyuan had shown such an expression toward a young genius.

It was clearly an attitude of extreme admiration, wanting to take him as her own.

Compared to the attitude the other party showed in dealing with Chen Yan, it was truly a world of difference.

…………

And on that arena, the black-clothed youth stood silently.

He looked toward a certain direction in the second-floor viewing area, as if he saw the fury on the face of the person who branded Chen Yan.

The Word Realm can pry into people's minds; the moment that Evil Flame stepped onto the stage, his own killing intent was felt clearly by Chen Yan.

It is impossible not to kill.

Suddenly.

A roar.

An ice dragon soared into the air, circling above Chen Yan's head.

The aura on the youth's body suddenly became solemn and icy, and sounds like boiling water rang out.

【Hidden Abyss】, activate.

A magnificent dragon might pressed down from above.

Clear light surged all over Chen Yan's body.

The crowd was stunned.

He was actually advancing!

"Everyone, are you not coming up yet?"

An icy voice rang out.

The ice dragon coiled high in the sky scanned the entire boxing gym.

Crack, crack, crack...

On the dragon's tail, a clear, deep radiance gradually emerged.

The section of the dragon's tail covered by the clear light no longer looked like it was condensed from blood and Qi, but rather like the body of a living ice dragon.

This clear radiance continued to grow, intending to completely occupy the ice dragon's entire body in the time to follow.

It was as if it were a progress bar.

The moment the ice dragon is reborn, Bing Yi's Golden Body will be complete.

On the other side of the high sky, the expression under the Goat Deacon's mask changed instantly.

"This... this is a Perfect Golden Body!"

In the viewing area, someone exclaimed aloud.

A Perfect Golden Body originates from the Perfect Hundred Meridians, and the Perfect Hundred Meridians originates from the Perfect Divine Organ.

This is a path where one cannot take a single wrong step from the very beginning.

People who can achieve a Perfect Golden Body are extremely, extremely rare.

Everyone did not expect that Bing Yi had not yet reached the Golden Body stage, and even less did they expect that the other party would achieve a Perfect Golden Body today.

Wrapped in this silent shock.

"Today, I, Bing Yi, shall use the blood of you all to cross over to my Golden Body!"

The youth's voice rang out once more.

"I hope you can give me some face; I will treat you all to a meal tomorrow morning."
